What i ended up doing is setting it to run at startup using Task Scheduler i could set it to run whether a user has logged on or not and it works quite well

That's a good option too.
Only it isn't available for XP, that's why we added the "service" option.
The way you run it may be even better, because SABnzbd is not a true service anyway.
